[comp.sys.atari.st] VC.TTP

euloth@dalcsug.UUCP (George Seto) (01/19/88)

I have just been playing with the VC.TTP, both the version which is

85791 bytes, and except for the W,and T commands works well.

86126 bytes, which has the T command working but not the W command.

The second one had the sources ARC'd with the program and a US Tax form.
There were mods made by Robert Bond, dating back to a year ago. Does 
anyone know this gentleman? 

I would like to ask if anyone has gotten the W command to work. I can't 
seem to get it to print a file which can be viewed on the screen or printed
out. Is there a way to print to the printer?

Are the authors I listed above around on the net?

For those who are interested in the solution on printing with the
VCTTP spreadsheet program, I got a message from Mark Lewis 
(lewis@istc.sri.com) which explained  that he had found the same
problem. Here is his solution :

 Thanks Mark. BTW, this only works with the 2.1.a version of the VCTTP
 but NOT with the 2.1 version of the VCTTP.

I also have VC.TTP version 2.1.a (85791 bytes long) and I have managed to use
W correctly w/o extending the spread-sheet.  At other times, it does cut off
somewhere around columns G or H.  What I haven't managed is to get wide output;
VC seems to  cut the printer output for a narrow printer into vertical blocks.
Any solution to this?

In my version, the @avg command doesn't work properly: I can't save it (P) to
a file since some parts of the program understand @avg and other @ave.  If the
source is available on the net I would sure appreciate someone mailing it to
me.  For what I want VC serves me well enough, but do better PD spreadsheet
programs exist for the ST?

I am looking for the source code to VC.TTP version 2.1.a (which is 85791 bytes
long).  I have the source code for version 2.1 (sub-version of Robert Bond =
v. 1.1), so only the diffs would be necessary.

Thanks in advance.  Reply directly, since I don't get the USENET newsgroups.
